History & Criticism

The first collection of poetry by noted travel writer Lawrence Millman."Tent Dwellers—Okak, Labrador"Inside this licheny ring of stones that once held down a sealskin tent, I pitch my own domed aquamarine tent and then quickly crawl inside to escape an ice pellet shower, whereupon I see a couple of my predecessors squatting dim and hazy, Dorset People with cuprous, epicanthic faces, scrapers of skin, tellers of tales, diviners of the weather, who stare at this pallid specimen from a distant age in his nylon-lined apparel, astonished that he somehow survived and they did not.Lawrence Millman is the author of eight other books (most recently An Evening among Headhunters) and hundreds of essays, short stories, and poems published in hundreds of magazines, as well as the editor of several anthologies.

About the Author Pablo Neruda (1904-1973) is regarded by many as one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. Born in rural Chile he moved to the capital, Santiago, and published his first book in 1923. During the 20s and 30s he served as a diplomat and was ambassador to Spain at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. This event profoundly changed his writing style to one of addressing social and political concerns. He returned to Chile in 1938 but spent many years in exile due to political conditions. Neruda won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1971.

Tangled Hair: Love Poems of Yosano Okiko

YOSANO, AKIKO

"There's a silence at the heart of this poetry, intensified by evocative woodcuts that suggest an absence of time and linear thought. Jumping Out of Bed is a graceful testament to the spirit."-Wyatt Townley, Small Press

Jumping Out of Bed

Robert Bly

"Poems powerful in their honesty, emotion and craft. The heart-clenching directness of the emotion is seldom found in recent American poetry."--Small Press
